W: John's been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical condition.
M: Oh, that's terrible. And you know his father passed away last year.
Q: What do we learn about John?
答案：D. He has been having a hard time.
解析：根据听力原文可知，“John's mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”(约翰的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了)由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的;答案也就显而易见了。

M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake.
W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案：D The woman thinks highly of the speaker
解析：根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说：外语学习网“其实我已经很久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinks highly of”即“对…评价高”，故D是正确答案。

W: I'm having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor can't explain it in a way that makes sense to me.
M: You know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was about to drop statistics before they helped me out.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案：C. The woman should seek help from tutoring services.
解析：首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。
而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。

M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, did't I?
W: Oh, that wasn't me. That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：C. Jill wore the overcoat last week.
解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：“That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.”(那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班)也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。转自:考试网 - [Examw.Com]
